What is a Hydraulic Crawler Crane?

Hydraulic crawler cranes, also known as telecrawlers, are heavy duty lifting machines that use hydraulic systems to lift heavy loads. Like other types of crawler cranes, the bottom section of the crane is supported by tracks that make the entire machine mobile. This feature allows telecrawlers to pick-and-carry loads, even on more difficult terrain like sand, gravel, and uneven surfaces.

The difference between hydraulic crawlers and other cranes lies in the telescopic boom attached to the upper section of the crane. This boom is made with cross-sectional pieces that can extend and retract. The hydraulic nature of these cranes can help them reach greater heights while maintaining a smooth, stable lift.
